Get yourslef flats for upto 6 months in the Beyoglu area, which is the pulse of Istanbul's day and night life. Whether you stay in Istiklal Street resounding with funky cafes, bluesy bars, restaurants and cinemas or at Taksim Square which houses the quaint open air museum or other neighbouring areas which are the spots for internatinal Jazz Festivals, film festivals, Music Days and a Blues Festival.
A one bedroom flat that I particularly like is 10 minutes walking distance from Taksim Square, which is the heart of arts and culture activities in Istanbul. The flat boasts of a winter garden, stone walls covered with plaster reminiscent of the Ottomon empire and all the basic amenities like phone, vacuum cleaner, lamps, stove, central heating, etc.
A rather grand two bedroom flat in a historical building furnished in the neo-classical and art nouveau styles is situated just 5 minutes away from Istiklal street and is fully furnished with antiques and candelabrums's, carpets and rugs setting an old world charm that reflects the city. Other than all the things you can think of from linen to washing machines to music sets to plates, this flat also has wireless internet connection!
Many, many more one and two bedroom flats in this area are available for you to enjoy a stay in the very center of Istanbul.
A two bedroom flat With pale bluey-green walls and white trims giving an ornate look, overlooking the paved tiled street of Istiklal has a balcony with a view to the Bosphorous can be your home for a short stay. With wooden floors and comfy couches in the living room, a stocked kitchen and airconditioning, this flat is one of the many available including one with four star tourist rating.
